Re: Keeper advice?

You going with Bruce or Pence (or keeping neither). Or both?

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou

Re: Keeper advice?

Greinke is rated higher in Yahoo (7), but is a higher risk in my opinion than Verlander. besides when it's all said and done they will be about the same in every category if Greinke can stay out of the mental hospital.

In the end you have 3 stars in the infield and 2 pitchers in the top 10 at seasons end. I think you can get comparable outfielders to Kemp and Bruce once you start drafting.

Kemp is likely a top 10 and Bruce is a top 20 OF in almost any league.If you take into account their age and the fact that it's a keeper league I think you have to keep 1 at least.Not to mention that you have to start at least 4 OF every day in just about every fantasy league.There's not going to be much too comparable once you get past your first round or two.

I can see keeping one of Kemp/Bruce and dropping Verlander for that exact reason(keeper staus being young).

Just one word of advice. In any keeper league I draft Mike Stanton. If not already owned pick him up. He won't be available again for at least the next 10 years. Sorry if i got off subject.
